Not keen on the more powder route these loads already let you know their there.

However bending the barrel might just be the ticket........ wtfwtf ......... tongueout

In the long and distant past I used to shoot handloaded Brennke slug out of a Marlin Goose gun.

I zero'd it by bending the barrel. I cut two lengths of 24"x3"x 1" board, I then screwed 2x3"x2"x2" blocks each one 2" from the end of one board and then a third same sized block in the middle of the second board. The whole shebang went into a vice with the barrel clamped and orientated 'tween the blocks. A bit of pressure on the vice and the barrel was gently bent, trial and error 'till correct POI was achieved.

Done the same thing with a few other guns over the years, obviously it can be overdone but it don't take much to shift POI out to 75-100yrds which is what I was zeroing to.

Thanks for the insight into olde worlde gunsmithing Adam.I'm way to ham-fisted to try anything like that,i'd probably be able to shoot round corners if i tried.
I'll go back to the lee slug one load was just about spot on.

Aye,it might a little disconcerting to the other shooters on the firing point to see me facing up and down the line while hearing watch and shoot.
